Royal Lytham Golf Club is one of the most famous golf courses in the world. Founded in 1886, it is situated in the lovely coastal resort of St. Annes and was the venue for the 2012 BRITISH OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. Royal Lytham has been the proud host of Ten BRITISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS, two Ryder Cups and many other major tournaments including being host to the Walker Cup in 2015.
The golf course is conveniently accessible from all the main Northern England motorway networks and when on your Southport golf holidays it is about a 50 minute drive from your Southport Hotel.
Although it is still a fair distance from the actual sea, Royal Lytham is still close enough for the coastal winds to have an affect on the golfer who is not comfortable playing in windy conditions. It has been described by one eminent golf journalist as "a beast of a course, but just a beast" Royal Lytham golf course has remained mostly in its original layout with just a few improvements to the course over the last 100 years or so, thus adding to the history and tradition of this premier golf course.
Golf Southport definitely recommends playing this famous course as part of your Southport golfing holiday. Golf Southport also recommends that you play our "3 Royals" package where you can play Royal Lytham, Royal Birkdale and Royal Liverpool, as all 3 courses are within a short drive from the golfing heaven of Southport.
The staff at Golf Southport will be delighted to organise your visit to Royal Lytham (including transport if necessary) and also any other required arrangements on your Southport golf holidays.

"Hi Stewart, Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic week last week. Enjoyed all the courses particularly Wallasey. Hotel was a great base for us and I would certainly recommend it to anyone else playing golf in the area. The food was fantastic. Thanks for all your help with the booking."

"Hi Guys, I just wanted to send a big thank you to Stewart. He went out of his way to make our golf trip great! We were looking to play golf last minute while we were in Liverpool for the 151st Open. I messaged Stewart and he made it happen. We appreciate everything Stewart did for us and it was one of the top memories of the trip. Thanks again Stewart. I highly recommend booking your golf trip with Stewart."

"Hi Stewart, It was great to meet you and your good lady at S&A on Tuesday and many thanks for the gifts. The Royal Birkdale experience was a day we'll never forget. All the guys thoroughly enjoyed the trip and were very impressed with the Bold Hotel and the tee times booked. Everything went smoothly. You even sorted the weather out for us! Many thanks for organising such a fabulous and well organised trip for us and I'm sure we'll be in touch in the future to arrange another visit to Southport."
Neil Thomas ― Group of 6 Golfers in September, 2023
"I just wanted to say another massive thank you for arranging everything for our weekend in Liverpool and the hospitality you showed us throughout our visit. The 30 x Golfers on the trip had such a brilliant time on what was yet another memorable weekend both on and off the course in Merseyside. Both Prenton and Allerton Manor were perfect courses for a large group like ours and it was great to finally play West Derby which was the pick of the bunch."
Nathan ― Rolls-Royce PTF Golf Society - Group of 30
"We are group of eight Austrian golf players and in 2020 we wanted to go to Southport in England to play the beautiful and famous golf-courses of Royal Birkdale, Hillside and S&A. Due to the Corona-pandemic we could not travel to England for two years. This year however, in May 2022 our dream came true. So we want to thank Stewart and his team for supporting us all the time. We really enjoyed our journey very, very much."

"Cannot thank Stewart and his team for all their hard work on our recent trip to Merseyside, which included golf at Leasowe, Wallasey and Hoylake. Everything worked very well, good tee times and great service at Leasowe Castle Hotel. I would recommend you highly, and our little society will be using you again next time we are in the Northwest of England."

A truly wonderful weekend enjoyed by all and we certainly will be booking again."

"The whole trip ran smoothly from start to finish (and I've been on a few that haven't!) and I would have no hesitation in using Stewart and his team for any future tours and would be happy to recommend them to anyone. Everyone on our group was glowing in their praise of the golf and the trip more generally."
Dominic Smyth ― Visiting Golf Group from London, September 2020
"Just to say once again how much we all enjoyed this week’s trip to your lovely part of the world. Thanks for your excellent organisation and personal involvement throughout. All the very best with everything and hopefully our paths will cross again somewhere close to a golf course."
Tim Procter ― Visiting Golf Group, May 2021
"Just to say the whole thing from start to finish was just exceptional so thanks again for all your help. From sunstroke potential at Ormskirk to lashing rain and 60mph gusts of wind at Hesketh it was the true links experience :-) The Hotel was spot on, the rooms were comfortable, breakfast excellent and staff very friendly. We were made to feel incredibly welcome everywhere we went."
Chris Maylin
"Stewart and his team have been brilliant. We had to change the event twice due to CV19 and they made everything painless and easy. I would strongly recommend Stewart and his team to anyone looking for a Golf Break in the Merseyside area."
Richard Murphy ― Visiting Golf Group from Leeds, September 2020
"On behalf of the Rolls-Royce PTF Golf Society, I just wanted to say another big thank you to you for arranging everything for our weekend in Liverpool and looking after us so well while we were there. Everyone's had such a brilliant time and we couldn't have wished for better food and value for money anywhere."

"I would like to thank you for all the work you have taken upon yourselves on our behalf. It has been a pain free exercise this year due to your expertise. All we have to do is turn up and enjoy the golf"
Tony Byrne - Party of 8 golfers from Southern Ireland
"We were all delighted with the trip. Used restaurant Auberge a couple of times and liked it. We also met John Smith in the bar of the hotel and we all had lots of his ale. :) Loved the golf. Asked one of the lads if he would drop a course in order to include S&A and he said no - we should play four days the next time. All in all a wonderful trip."
